Nikki is a wonderful hostess and instructor - we were amazed at how much we could accomplish in the kitchen in one session and always also had plenty of time for other activities and sightseeing. The chalet is a gorgeously decorated and meticulously kept -- and surrounded by amazing scenery. This was an incredible getaway from the busy city environment - a peaceful, quaint retreat with fresh air and excellent fresh, in season produce.

"Amazing cooking school with gluten free options!"

Chalet Savoie Faire was even more perfect than the reviews I read online!! My friends and I were looking to book a cooking holiday and my first question when I reached out to Nikki was if she could accommodate gluten free. Not only was she able to accommodate, but everything was available gluten free including fresh bread and pastries that we learned to make. Overall, the food was absolutely amazing and recipes you can totally recreate at home. Nikki, Hugh and Hannah were amazing hosts who made us feel right at home, the accommodations were lovely and we enjoyed the beautiful setting in the picturesque Alps. We enjoyed long walks and excursions to local attractions like the market, spa and a picnic lunch. I would recommend this spot to any friends and family who want a relaxing break in the Alps while looking some great cooking techniques.
